NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas (December 9) - The Brahmas (10-8-3) outlasted the Tulsa Oilers by the score of 1-0 Sunday afternoon, extending their point streak at home to six games.
The Brahmas got their one and only goal at 17:54 of the first period when Erik Spady found an open Riley Boychuk behind the defense. Boychuk beat Tulsa netminder Ian Keserich on the breakaway for his fifth goal of the season and first game-winner.
Brad Fogal was stingy between the posts for Fort Worth, stopping all 21 shots on net en route to his first and the Brahmas' league-leading third shutout of the season. With the win, Fogal improved to 6-5-1 on the season with a 2.89 goals against average and .897 save percentage.
Keserich made 26 saves on 27 shots in net for the Oilers but took the loss to fall to 5-9-0.
With Sunday's victory, the Brahmas extended their point streak at home to six games, dating back to November 21. Fort Worth is now 7-1-3 in front of its hometown faithful.
The Brahmas hit the road to take on the Wichita Thunder Friday, December 14 at the INTRUST Bank Arena, but return to play two more games at the NYTEX Sports Centre Saturday, December 15 and Sunday, December 16.
